What would be some soultions from your experience.
It depends on who has the most power at your hospital and what their current goals and biases are.
If the CEO of your hospital is trying to remake your hospital into a people pleasing, money-making pleasure boat, then they are going to be exerting influence on nursing supervisors, and holding those supervisors responsible for their scores. If your CEO is under the guns from the board, being threatened with termination for lack of improvement in patient satisfaction scores, they will be extra-motivated. Even without external pressure, CEOs tend to have extraordinary goals for the hospital. If they can turn a poor, or mediocre performing/ profiting hospital into very profitable, they are going to become
very marketable and land their next job in some cush, 7 figure job. That is their goal: dramatic results and huge turn-arounds under their supervision.
If the Nursing Supervisor of your department is under the gun from the CEO, they are going to hold the nurses under them to an extremely high standard. If a department has dramatic turn-around, they stand to land a six figure job, with even more cush hours than they already have. They could even land a job as a CEO at a smaller hospital with an MBA, or significant administrative experience.
Some nurses want to become nursing supervisor and thereby not have to do night-shifts, or put up with clinical BS anymore. They are going to get that job by being a patient pleaser, not the embittered nurse who doesn't put up with guff from patients.
This is the reality of modern medicine...everybody is in it for themselves and there is a constant tog of war between patients, doctors, nurses, CEOs, and government interests. This is the healthy competition of capitalism, a constant upward striving for individual interests that balances provider/patient interests. The priority of the individual parties often fail to coincide. When goals and priorities don't coincide, somebody has to lose. On your shift, you lost. Administration is not backing you up and you have some choices:
1. Fight the fight as an individual... which you will lose
2. Get all the physicians in your group to back you and as a group do some political wrangling with administration, which you might lose as a group, leading to loss of your contract
3. Give in.
You choose. Option 1, I don't recommend. Option 2 is a lot of work, and might annoy your colleagues or more importantly, your boss.
